No, I'd suggest turning it on by default everywhere and provide a
--without-thread configure option if it isn't there yet.

On AIX there are identified compiler/libthread combinations that work
or don't work. They can be detected though and since the compiler is
detected earlier, --with-thread can be automatically disabled with a
notification message about the conflict.
